Connect the cable's blue connector to the motherboard's primary (recommended) or secondary IDE connector. Then connect the gray connector to your UltraDMA/100 slave device (hard disk drive) and the black connector to your UltraDMA/100 master device. It is recommended that non-UltraDMA/100 devices be connected to the secondary IDE connector. If you install two hard disks, you must configure the second drive to Slave mode. Please refer to your hard disk documentation for the jumper settings. BIOS now supports specific device bootup (see 4.6 Boot Menu). (Pin 20 is removed to prevent wrong orientations). TIP: You may configure two hard disks to be both Masters with two ribbon cables - one for the primary IDE connector and another for the secondary IDE connector. You may install one operating system on an IDE drive and another on a SCSI drive and select the boot disk through 4.6 Boot Menu. IMPORTANT: UltraDMA/100 IDE devices must use a 40-pin 80-conductor IDE cable for 100MByte/sec transfer rates. Secondary IDE Connector Primary IDE Connector 3.
